On-the-job training (ojt) - delivery of information through guided observation, coaching, and participation. Can be highly effective if trainers/employees are skilled and motivated. Simulation-based training - delivery of information through simulated experiences that provide opportunities for trainees to practice and learn. Distance learning - delivery of information through electronic means to individuals at the same time regardless of geographic location. E-learning (web-based learning) - delivery of information through programmed instruction provided over the internet. Reduced levels of active learning and interactivity with instructors/co-trainees.
